NO ONE should go into crushing debt for pursuing higher education.
ICYMI last week: Alongside activists and colleagues in the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Pramila called for more than a dozen executive actions the White House can take on their own to deliver for working families.
One of the most popular actions Pramila and progressives are calling for the president to take is student loan debt cancellation. And while reports indicate that the White House will once again extend the pandemic-related pause on federal loan payments, it’s simply not enough. We need to cancel every last penny of student debt, once and for all.

Private lenders are lobbying tirelessly for loan payments to resume. If they do, working people will pay an average of $460/month in student debt payments — a burden that, according to recent polling from Student Debt Crisis and Savi, most borrowers are not financially secure enough to deal with again.
Democrats control the House, the Senate, and the White House. To lift people up — and into the future — we need to use that power to deliver on a transformative economic agenda. One key component to that agenda is forgiving student debt — and President Biden can get it done today.
But Pramila needs your support to keep up this grassroots fight against the lobbyists and corporations profiting from student loan debt. Chip in $3 or any amount to help us push President Biden to cancel student loan debt. He can — and he must.
In solidarity,
Team Jayapal
